With access to all the latest technologies, Wellspring has the flexibility to create specific treatment protocols for each patient, maximizing the likelihood of tumor control while minimizing the chance of side effects or complications. Some of these include the following:

Brain Tumors - For patients needing whole brain irradiation, the memory sparing techniques available with Tomotherapy may reduce side effects.  For those with localized tumors, the options of radiosurgery with either Gamma Knife or Cyberknife improve the chances for controlling the tumor with the least possible side effects.

Breast Cancer - Using more sophisticated IMRT techniques, it is possible to treat the whole breast with increasing safety and by using accelerated partial breast irradiation (e.g. Mammosite) it may be possible to complete the radiation in 5 days rather than 6 weeks.

Lung Cancer - For patients with limited cancer, radiosurgery with Cyberknife may result in cure rates similar to surgery. For patients with more advanced cancer, more sophisticated targeting using image guided IMRT (e.g. Tomotherapy) allows for the delivery of high doses of radiation with lower risks of complications. Endobronchial HDR may be an option for some lung cancer situations.

Prostate Cancer - For those with prostate cancer, and who are candidates for external beam irradiation, the ART techniques available with Tomotherapy far surpass what is available with more conventional IMRT or IGRT techniques. Many men will be candidates for seed implants either alone or in combination with external beam. Some men may be candidates for newer radiosurgical techniques such as Cyberknife where the treatment can be completed in 1 week rather than 8.

Skin Cancer - Many patients can avoid surgery with electron beam irradiation treatment and admire high cure rates and excellent cosmetic results. Newer HDR techniques provide convenience with completing radiation treatment in a few days rather than weeks.

Throat Cancer - Using the Varian machine with both IMRT and IGRT techniques and then Tomotherapy (ART) it has become possible to improve throat cancer cure rates and lower side effects more than ever before.
